Well, I'll start out with the fact that English is the second language I've learned (the first is a secret) and the third one that I'm currently learning is Japanese. My stories are far from perfect, but I do try and make an effort in improving my writing style. Hence, I take constructive criticism very seriously. Reviews also help motivate me write, although I don't expect much since I'm nowhere near as good as some writers (like the author's of some of my favorite stories).

My Japanese is self taught, as such, my knowledge regarding the language is all over the place. I can read and write to a certain extent, but my kanji knowledge is rather limited - so I can't do full translations reliably.

Also, don't expect large chapter lengths from me or short update times. I write mainly as a hobby so it's only during times of large free times or overwhelming inspiration that I can either write long chapters or increase my update frequency.

Dislikes in General:

Yaoi/Yuri: One of the few things that can make me run away from any work in general is if the pairings is guy to guy or girl to girl. Honestly, the mere thought of it makes me want to dish out and apply a healthy dose of brain bleach. Though I mean no offense to those who actually like it, but please state in the summary if it's yaoi/yuri. Don't even try to make me read one. You can never make me like it.

Bad Grammar: I certainly understand that not all writers are English proficient. But as many people would be repelled by bad grammar, it'd be best if those writers would take into account the reviews that places good constructive criticism. Get a beta if you seriously can't do any better. It would be a much enjoyable experience for all of us.

Marvel/DC: Don't ask me why. But I have an irrationaldislike of anything Marvel or DC.

Comments within the course of the story: Unless you're breaking the fourth wall, keep author comments at the bottom or top of a story. If the reader so wishes it, they will read the comments. But please don't place it within the story. It ruins the flow and makes me think that I'm on a conversation rather than reading a story. If it can't be avoided, then just annotate it or do it rarely.

Japanese within the text: If you're writing a story in English, keep everything in English. Those who know the universe that you are writing would obviously know what the supposed language of the character is. So don't place whole Japanese sentences/phrases into a story (just notify the audience what language is being spoken within the story if there's a sudden change). Honorifics can be placed since they generally have no English equivalent, names of festivals or customs are also allowed but anything else would really ruin the story... except if you're stating Japanese lyrics of course.

Flamers: Flaming a story wouldn't be a good show of how smart a person really is. In fact it would only serve to make people think that said flamer isn't mature at all. If you dislike something, please state it intellectually. By saying a person sucks, you obviously have an idea on what could possibly be better. So instead of insulting them, state why it sucks and how they can improve. No one would be inclined to improve from hurtful words.

NTR: If you don't know what this means, then allow me to enlighten you. NTR is an acronym (?) that refers to 'Netorare' which can refer to 'cuckold'. Essentially, this is when two characters in a relationship have one be taken by a third party often through sexual means. To put it simply, it's when someone steals the girlfriend or boyfriend of a character from the person they have/had a relationship with. It shouldn't be a surprise why I hate this, but what's surprising is that some people actually like this... do those people actually want that to happen to them in real life?

Overpowered Characters: Unless the character was originally overpowered in their story (like Shiba Tatsuya of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei) don't make a character overpowered right of the bat. Unless you plan to have enemies for a character that would either match or overpower your character later on, then simply don't. This is even more unforgivable (at least for me) if the overpowered character is an OC. Crack stories don't count.

Random Thoughts and Opinions:

Naruto Stories: As much as I dislike Naruto, I do admit that from time to time, well written stories pop up. The problem however, is that there are far too many badly written ones. I'm not going to point fingers, but there are a lot of stories out there that has Naruto losing all the traits that made him Naruto in the first place. Then there are crossover stories that have a Naruto in Name Only where they proceed to leave the story they're having a crossover with to bask in said Naruto's 'awesomeness'. It gets even worse that they pretty much NTR (yes, I consider it as such even if the connections between the characters haven't been established) just about anything said 'Naruto' comes into contact with... so it's no surprise that apart from really good ones (like The Leaf's Naruto), I avoid the Naruto fandom like the plague.

Bashing: To a certain extent, I can take this for crack stories. But any story that isn't crack and has bashing within the story regardless of how deserving a character is to be in the receiving end of it wouldn't really cater to my interest all that long (if it even did hold it).

Fanfiction Ideas:

As much as I want to write the ideas that goes in my head, there are some that are either just too much for me to do with my current work load or I'm not confident of executing it well. Either that, or I don't quite have a feasible explanation as to why things ended up the way they did.

Here are some of them:(General Notes: There will be no yaoi or yuri in any of these stories)

Breaking Normality (name subject to change)Archive: Toaru Majutsu no IndexBased on: "The one slight possibility of defeating Othinus through strength alone would be for Kamijou himself to ascend to Magic Godhood..." from NT9 Chapter 8 Part 1Synopsis: With no way out, the Magic God Othinus shaping the world as a means to to break him and Kamijou's own psyche slowly crumbling - Kamijou silently looked for the only hope that lay before him. It may not be easy, but it was a possibility all the same.Other Notes: Kamijou in the many loops in NT9 had considered becoming a Magic God despite the existence of Imagine Breaker - so perhaps there is a possibility. He has all the time in the world after all, just as long as his mind has not broken.Status: Idea

Castaway (name subject to change)Archive: Mahouka Koukou no RettouseiBased on: (Hard to classify)Synopsis: With the failure of the experiment to turn Tatsuya into a proper magician, the Yotsuba had lost hope and abandoned the failure magician to the streets. Now with next to no memory due to the result of the experiment, the boy was soon picked up... by whom exactly?Other Notes: Essentially, this is the kind of story in where Tatsuya's upbringing would change how he views and act. Naturally, he still has access to Decomposition and Regrowth, along with his measly magical capability and Elemental Sight - but how he acts and behaves would be entirely different in regards to which family adopted him. Given that the only emotion left for him is 'familial love for a sibling', the main family I'm thinking as of the moment is the Saegusa family...Status: Idea

A Time Traveler in the Eyes of Others (name subject to change)Archive: Kingdom HeartsBased on: The many time traveling fan fiction out there, and the way Pet na Campione-sama! executed point of view.Synopsis: Aqua couldn't quite tell what it is about her friend's actions that was subtly wrong. He still had a one-tracked mind in becoming a Master like always, and he still did stupid things with her other friend, Ventus. Still, Terra felt a bit more mature than before the incident that blew a hole into the Master's room.Other Notes: Terra is the time traveler here, but will not be the point of view character. Rather, this story focuses on the execution of time traveling and how those that didn't time travel view the time traveler and how it affects their actions.Status: In Draft (Not a guarantee that I'll post it)

Carving the Future (name subject to change)Archive: The World God Only KnowsBased on: A world idea of AKAAkira and the beginning threads from a story of Wraithe WinsreSynopsis: Months earlier, Keima encounters a poorly translated book on New Hellian magic done by Elsie as a means to further her Japanese knowledge. With that knowledge in hand, and the events that soon cause him to doubt his current path - where will it lead?Other Notes: A more generic shounen (referring to battles and the like) take in The World God Only Knows, while retaining its key elements and altering the Goddess Arc completely.Status: In Draft

Revealing of a Legend (name subject to change)Archive: Rokujouma no Shinryakusha (The Invaders of Rokujoma)Based on: "Relax. If there is really nowhere left to go, I will keep a space in room 106 for you." From Volume 7.5 Chapter 3Synopsis: They had returned to the present - but just like they had been expecting, the world had changed drastically from the one they had left. What is a wandering knight to do and a princess supposed to do in a world that's no longer truly their own?Other Notes: Ending up in a parallel world removed from their own, Koutarou and Clan decides to live in room 106. There are no invaders after the room, and Theia had never gone to Earth. But while the initial set up has changed, room 106 is still a place of interest for many factions - so sooner or later, Koutarou and Clan will find themselves knee deep in problems they thought that they had left behind.Status: Idea
